Influence of cooling on imaging quality of EMCCD camera
After the readout noise of an Electron Multiplying Charge Coupled Device(EMCCD) camera is reduced as low as 1 e
-
the dark current noise becomes a primary noise source of the EMCCD camera. As the cooling can reduce the dark current noise of EMCCD camera remarkably
it has been one of the important factors influencing imaging quality of EMCCD camera. This paper analyzes and compares advantages and disadvantages of different cooling systems in the EMCCD camera
then it proposes a new cooling system for the EMCCD camera which is fitful for space-borne applications. By establishing a noise model of EMCCD camera
the influences of different cooling effects on imaging quality of EMCCD camera were analyzed. Analysis results indicate that Signal to Noise Ratio(SNR) of EMCCD camera is improved from 82.9 to 87.2 as the temperature of focal plane is lowered from 30℃ to-40℃. In addition
imaging quality of EMCCD camera can be improved effectively. The research results provides design references for development of EMCCD cameras used in space sciences.shen.
